this theatre was NOT next to Hattems. the franklin was near the corner of Division and Franklin street, Hattems was a half mile north on the corner of Division and Wealthy.

I believe this is one of the theaters that was built by Howard Reynolds. I know that it was operated by the Boshoven-Busick interests into the early 50's when it closed. It was next door to Hattem's restaurant.
